I am planning to create a URL Based api which enable me to fetch resources using curl. For example, If a client can request the resource by using the following url structure.

curl -some-variable http://mydomainname/magentoroot/api.php?func=addtwonum&parama=34&paramb=11

It should produce response within xml or json. Assume public key and private key encryption and decryption are done.

Is it a feasible method?? Or shall I go to REST or SOAP. I am much inclined to this method.

  • You can use $this->getResponse()->setBody(Mage::helper('core')->jsonEncode($your_result)); in your controller to produce response json data.

I would use REST. Magento 2 comes with REST APIs standard, and its easy to create a webapi.xml file to bind REST URLS to your own APIs you introduce as well. See http://devdocs.magento.com then go to "web services developer" in the menu bar. There are examples using CURL there as well.
